Overated excitement: 1cm taller.
My passport expired sometimes ago, so I gotta get it renewed in Consulate-general of Malaysia. It is located in Adelaide Terrace.
For you Malaysian folks in Perth, if you wanna get your passport done, please don’t go to Hyatt Hotel, as those people moved down to the street. The office is just right opposite Duxton Hotel, or next to Police and Nurse Society building. Oh silly me! How many Malaysians would actually stay in Ozzie over summer except dumbarse like me?
I got there at 930am. The office is fully ‘protected’, I mean …. fully iron-gated.
Press the door bell..
“assalamualaikum!! assalamualaikum!” I am kidding. I did not say that.
“walk from behind!” One of the Malay officer shouted from the office.
“HA? walk from behind?”
Oh! I see!! Malaysia is one hella unique country on earth. For God sake, I had to use back door?
And please tell me, Malaysia is not the only country wants the passport photo background in blue colour. Cause I had to search all over Victoria Park and get my photos taken professionally (AUD 20) and no negatives provided. FH!! Damn ! I cant swear, you see!
Anyway.. this is the back door and it looks like a cell. aH! whatever la, Malaysia Boleh! =)
This is the reception. The receptionist is suprb friendly. She speaks very Malaysian English. I feel so close to my home. I told her :Kakak, adek faseh Bahasa.. There you go.. we had our conversation in Bahasa Melayu. Mind you, I grow up in kampung (village) and I have very strong Malay ascent, still. Again! Malaysia Boleh! *whatever*
OH!!! Forget everything I tell you.. They are not relevant. All I wanted to tell you is, I white-lied (NOT cheating) in the passport renewal application form!!!!
My height was 150cm.. and guess what??? I changed to 151cm!!! Bloody ONE Centimeter taller!!! Malaysia Boleh!
I break the zero!! yeah Hoooooo!!!! =P
I know, I know.. Oh! I am so glad they did not actually measure my height.
Deeeeer..whatever lah! I am now abit taller.
I am soooooo happy!!! soooo happy!
I guess gravity really is weaker the further you away from the equator … yeah.
Hahhaa.. earlier on I thought what u white-lied in the passport renewal application form
M A L A Y S I A (memang)
B O L E H

kekekekekeke….
You can renew passport here in Perth? How much do you have to pay in Aussie $.
Loong: I think you should get your height measure as well.. might work for you too =)
chen: heheh.. yeah! 1 freaking centimeter!
jellyfish: of course!! Malaysia Boleh!
flower: $107.50, if my memory serves me right. =)
Hey..
i remember walking pass that malaysian consulate couple of times during my walking trip around the city…i did wonder how it is inside but the place look so unwelcome i tell you…When i look at it, i could feel like they are saying, “if you have no bloody business here, then dont bother coming in..” hehee…so i didn’t enter…so at least from yer photo, i’m able to see some part of the place….
I felt happy when i passed the place though…everytime i go overseas and come across somethin bout m’sia…i get all excited..hehehe..dunno why..
I thought only men would make a big deal about 1 cm difference ….I mean when 比賽誰的咕咕叫比較長
flower,
it is the exact conversion of RM300 to the currency in that particular country.
i just renewed mine last month in singapore, cost me SingDollar $133. which is equavalent to RM300 too.
cynthia,
maybe i give you 2cm lah, fret not, FOC!
haha….
then i will left 167cm for myself. *envy not*
Cynthia I am long enough .. sorry I mean I am tall enough as it is. But thanks anyway for the suggestion .. you are most welcome.
haha! nice one cynthia!
malaysia boleh indeed!
btw, can you actually take photos inside consulates? with the post 9/11 fuss and everything…
but then again, it’s malaysia, guess no one is going to suicide bomb us anytime soon since we’re a muslim country.
rudy: yeah, i understand what you mean. I do get abit excited when I see Malaysian stuffs in Perth, but again get annoyed when see the cell-like office =)
cooknengr: you serious? man, ..er, ..is kinda grossss, right? *faint*
carcar: heheh.. is ok lah! transfering few cm here and there is not possible; but I love to transfer my body fats. Fret not? This is somewhat more practical, right? =P Actually, I am happy where I am.
Loong: it is ok, my grandma told me : short people are smarter. There you go! You are smarter! Just like me!! LOL
killumiati: Thanks.. I ‘curi-curi’ took the pictures inside the office, pretending I was sms-ing la! =) But then again, they dont even care.
Honestly speaking, living in Perth is like.. NO WAORRIES, MATE! cos the population is not as much as other states, it wouldn’t be terriost target =P
*touch wood*
